A Must-Have List for When You Run Out of Books
Recommend some novels with potential that might become popular. Any genre is welcome. I'll also check how some books are progressing and whether the plots are any good, and remove those that don't make the cut. (If you have any good books to recommend, send them my way. I'll check them out when I have time, and if I like them, I'll add them to the list.) (The books here are mostly new or not very well known. For books by big-name authors, just check the monthly ticket rankings.) (Writing a book

Come Read My Favorite Novels
My formal criteria for evaluating a novel's world include its level of mystery, power scaling, imaginative concepts, and logical consistency. The level of mystery refers to the depth and foundation of the novel's world. In general, this means its people and geography, history, culture, regions, and underlying principles. Logical consistency refers to whether the characters' thoughts and actions fit the roles the author has assigned them. For example, a thief's behavior must match their identit

People who haven't played the game might not have a good grasp of the tier system in "The Scroll of Taiwu" (even those who have played it know that everything below God rank is trash). Here's an analysis of the tier system by the forum user "Panda is Not Fat at All". Simply put, in the eyes of an ordinary citizen in the world of Taiwu, the hierarchy from ninth rank to first rank is as follows:
The latest chapter looks a bit ominous. The author seems to have listened to the comments and turned Taiwu World into a game-like world of monster-hunting and loot-collecting. Honestly, what attracted me to the behind-the-scenes genre was its transcendent mystery and the unknown. Now it seems I invested too hastily.
Chapter Four: An old man gives you a set of clothes, and you expect him to support you in your old age? This reminds me of a news story about a child who ran away from home and became starving. A restaurant owner gave him a bowl of noodles, and the child immediately knelt down and begged the owner to be his second parents. I genuinely despise people like that. As for why, think about it yourself.
Seeing the Yuzhou Cauldron, it feels like the story is going further and further off track. Since it's a behind-the-scenes story, it needs to recognize its purpose. It's not about the protagonist; it's about supporting characters to carry the framework. The few characters it has are too few to support the story, and the progress is extremely slow.
It's a shame to waste the creativity. I won't even mention the other flaws, but the worst thing is that a proper martial arts sect feels like an assassin organization.
Some basic settings about The Scroll of Taiwu (NGA, Baidu Tieba). Xiang Shu: Every so often, a non-human, non-object demon will appear. Those infected by it will become mindless, bloodthirsty monsters. (Their physical body and lifespan are greatly enhanced, their stance becomes egocentric, and they will fight Taiwu to the death.)
The author's writing is too disorganized and scattered, making for a poor reading experience. If it weren't for the interesting ideas, I probably wouldn't have been able to stick with it until now.
I'm so frustrated. I spent tens of dollars trying to understand the novel, and after playing this game for hours, I still don't quite get it.
I read a few chapters and I felt that the protagonist's approach was quite bizarre. Why did he have to create a non-existent martial arts world? Why not just put all the summoners into one organization, give it a name like the Heavenly Court, and divide different sects according to their functions, such as the Fighting Department, Thunder Department, Wealth Department, and Alchemy Department, and…
This is utterly baffling. The protagonist's mindset is poorly written. The shift in mindset is abrupt, inexplicable, and inconsistent. Has the protagonist ever truly considered or defined his own inner thoughts before? But even if he hasn't thought about it, does that justify such wild speculation? Does only non-human beings act recklessly and arbitrarily?
